Thanks for being here Westcoast!
I play the Bird quite often OTB with decent outcomes. They beat me twice with 1. e4, then I beat em' with 1. f4. 
My favorite system to use is the Leningrad Bird. I seem to be good at cramping my opponent's position in that system.

yeah OTB works great as they ususally just try overly prove 1.f4 correct, but the fact that white is hitting a central square means they need to equalize 1st.
and the froms gambit is very fun, although Im not sure what youre trying for rrrttt... maybe 1.f4 e5 2.g3 exf4 3.Nf3 fxg3 4.e4 gxh2
looks a little risky.
white can gain a nice edge in the Froms, black players try to use it as a surprise but white is always more prepared so I dont know what theyre thinking.
thanks for the invite, Im guessing someone seen that I play a fiachetto bird w/ long castling.
should be about 1900 rated on here, so If you want me as part of a team or want to ask a question about a bird system just ask.
